Therefore, the brand introduces "a new category of super nutrition" that is sure to ensure "optimal health and longevity." Simples' plant-based tonics are prepared by hand and are vegan-friendly. The wellness-focused drink makes use of a range of "organic herbs, leaves, berries, roots, and flowers," some of which are even considered worthless weeds in these parts. Some of Simples' healthy tonics include the vitamin- and mineral-rich 'Nettle,' the anxiety- and depression-alleviating 'Blue Pea,' the nerve-soothing 'Oatstraw,' the stimulating 'Schisandra,' the refreshing and regenerating 'Chickweed,' the purifying 'Burdock,' and the gentle 'Rose' which embodies the taste and essence of the "previous Bulgarian rose." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Tonics:** Simples' plant-based tonics offer a new and innovative way to obtain optimal health and longevity. - **Using Overlooked Ingredients:** Simples' approach of using ingredients that are overlooked in Western cultures presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the wellness industry. - **Handmade and Vegan-friendly:** Simples' handmade and vegan-friendly tonics cater to the growing market of health-conscious consumers who prioritize sustainable and ethical products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wellness Industry:** Simples' plant-based tonics provide a new and unique product offering within the growing wellness industry. - **Herbal Medicine Industry:** Simples' use of organic herbs, leaves, berries, roots, and flowers presents an opportunity for innovation within the traditional herbal medicine industry. - **Sustainability Industry:** Simples' focus on using sustainable and ethical ingredients in their handmade and vegan-friendly tonics highlights an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the sustainability industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delicious Hydration-Focused Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-botanical-beverage.md) - [Health-Focused Herbal Tonics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herbal-tonic.md) - [Functional Adaptogenic Elixirs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botany-elixirs.md) - [Sparkling Dandelion Tonics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damson-dandelion.md) - [Nutritious Sparkling Tonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digestion-lemon-sparkling-tonic.md) - [Contemporary Herbal Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plants-to-the-rescue.md) - [Functional Fizzy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-warrior.md) - [Revitalizing Botanical Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-infusions.md) - [Sparkling Wellness Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellness-soda.md)
